As Christmas is coming in less than a week, now is the final time for
some Christmas shopping. So here are few pieces that will make you look
like your favorite royals without breaking the bank:
This
dress from Femi9 is very similar to the Alexander McQueen dress that
was worn by The Duchess of Cambridge to The Thames River Pageant marking
Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee earlier this year.
This dress even has a very similar neckline, and the best thing is that it retails for less than 800LE ($140).

Another elegant piece from Femi9 is this dress below:
With this dress you won’t be copying only one royal, but TWO. And not one designer, but TWO!
This dress resembles many Valentino creations, most notably this one worn many times by Princess Maxima of The Netherlands.

It also resembles the Nina Skarra dress that Princess Mette-Marit wore in New York last May which many of you argued that it was less than fortunate, but I liked it nevertheless!

This Femi9 dress also retails for less than 800LE, add a satin bow belt, and you’ve got a royal look!
For a winter look, this handmade coat from Zara (HERE) will give you the look of Princess Charlene of Monaco when she met Florence’s mayor with Prince Albert in October.
Pair this 1399LE ($199) with a beige dress and nude heels to achieve the royally elegant look!

Get it in red and pair it with a matching bolero and you’ll get Princess Stephanie’s engagement look designed by NATAN.

Or get it in off-white:
And
pair it with nude stilettos and a matching clutch to get Princess
Maxima’s look at one of her appearances which was also designed by NATAN.
Mango also offers this gown for 2440LE (around $395)
Which resembles Princess Madeleine’s Marchesa gown which she wore to attend the World Childhood Foundation Gala Dinner in New York last May.
Pair the Mango gown with silver accessories to achieve Princess Madeleine simple, princessy look. Get it from HERE
Neiman Marcus offers this brilliant blue sheath by Lafayette 148 New York for 3970LE (around $643)
Pair this very versatile frock with black pumps and a long necklace and you’ll look exactly as elegant as Kate when she visited the National Portrait Gallery last July in he Stella McCartney number. Or mix it up with a leopard print pair of pumps with some dangling necklace and you’ll get Princess Mary of Denmark’s look when she visited Hong Kong earlier this month wearing Malen Birger. Get it from HERE

Below, you can see Princess Charlene wearing a pink peplum dress by Dior to receive her Grand Cross of the Order of Saint-Charles in Monaco last month.
You can get the style with this Victoria Peplum dress by Alice and Olivia for the price of 1753LE (around $284) which wouldn’t just look royal or princessy but also stylish as peplum is so en vogue these days. Get it from HERE
Would you copy royals’ fashion choices? If yes, who would you like to steal her style?
